Solar Energy Advantages
1. Saves you money 
- After the initial investment has been recovered, the energy from the sun is practically FREE
- The recovery/payback period for this investment can be very short depending on how much electricity your household uses
- Financial incentives are available from the government that will reduce your cost
- It will save you money on your electricity bill if you have one at all
- It’s not affected by the supply and demand of fuel and is therefore, not subjected to the ever-increasing price of gasoline
- The savings are immediate and for many years to come
- The use of solar energy indirectly reduces health costs
- Solar energy does not require any fuel
2. Environmentally friendly
- Solar Energy is clean, renewable (unlike gas, oil and coal) and sustainalbe, helping to protect our environment
- It does not pollute our air by releasing carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide, sulphurdioxide or mercury into the atmosphere like many tradional forms of electrical generations
- By not using any fuel, Solar Energy does not contribute to the cost and problems of the recovery and transportation of fuel or the storage of radioactive waste
- Therefore, Solar Energy does not contribute to global warming, acid rain or smog
- It actively contributes to the decrease of harmful green house gas emissions
- It’s generated where it is needed
3. Independent/semi-independent
- Solar Energy can be utilized to offset utility-supplied energy consumption. It does not only reduce your electricity bill, but will also continue to supply your home/business with electricity in the event of a power outage
- A Solar Energy system can operate entirely independent, not requiring a connection to a power or gas grid at all. Systems can therefore, be installed in remote locations
4. Low/no maintenance
- Once installed, there are no recurring costs
- Solar Energy systems are virtually maintenance free and will last for decades
- They operate silently, have no moving parts, do not release offensive smells and do not require you to add any fuel
